Define the terms population and sample, and explain the role of each in a research study. what is a population?
a. the entire group of individuals of interest
b. a relatively small group selected from the individuals of interest
c. a relatively large group selected to include as many individuals of interest as possible

c. A relatively large group selected to include as many individuals of interest as possible

Explanation:

The population can be defined by several characteristics used to conclude a specific subject in population. It can vague and specific. For example, several newborn babies in America with a blue eye is a specific population which studied the blue color of eyes. Most of the researcher wants to know the characteristics of every entity in a population so can get a very precise result of the population.  

Sample: A sample is a small and manageable group of a large population. It can be called a subset of a large population that describes the entity characteristics of a population. It can be called a pilot study.  

Both the term sample and population are the most important part of a research. A population is a vast group and sample is a small group to represent a population.

answer; inductive techniques;

hygrometers and hair thermometers (often found as part of hygrometers/psychrometers) can be used to measure humidity. barometers are used to measure atmospheric pressure, while anemometers are used to measure wind speed. so the 2nd and 4th choices should be the correct answers.
